Weight: not heavy
Value: the cheaper the better
Description
Grunge fashion is characterized by the casual unkemptness that contrasts the flashier trends of the 1980s. It grew from anti-conformist ideas and recycled trends from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. There is a large amount of oversized sweaters, flannels, ripped jeans, sneakers, band tees, and hiking boots. The look fit in very easily with the climate and geography of the island and the down-to-earth nature of its residents. It's more of a comfort over trend approach among the people, but the younger generations are interested in the experimentation, openness, and eco-friendliness of the fashion. There's also a sense of androgyny and blurred gender lines that the young adults have embraced.
The old people just think the younger kids have started dressing normally again.
